Chords for Fred Eaglesmith - The Moth Joke - Live at McCabe's

_ _ _ _ Look at this guy, he's 55 years old, surrounded by beautiful women.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ You should have practiced. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You were playing football, beating me up at recess.
_ _ _ _ _ _ All you got is a sore knee. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ Okay, a few more, let's call it a night.
I'm sick of myself already.
_ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [N] I'd like to remind you tonight that the band is not high on drugs.
You see a lot of bands coming through LA, they're high on drugs.
This is a professional, entertaining band.
They're not high on drugs.
Thank you very much.
They're quite low on drugs, and if you have any,
they'll be out by that white bus right after the show.
_ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ like you guys, because you're looking at me sort of like the RCA Victor dog tonight.
I _ _ _ _ _ don't know if he really fits in here.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
You know, I'm a student of Zen Buddhism.
I've been a student of Zen Buddhism for a long time.
You know, the one where the Buddhist monk walks up to the hot dog stand,
gives the guy five dollars, and says,
Make me one with everything.
_ _ _ _ _ _ That's an LA joke, isn't it?
_ _ _ Says the guy, where's my change?
The guy goes, oh, change comes from within. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ You know what we say in Zen Buddhism?
We say, a day without sunshine looks like night.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ We say, if the whole world held hands, a lot of people would drown. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ There's people trying to boo.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ You know the one, _
you know the one where the guy walks into the dentist's office 1030 at night?
It's American dentist. _ _ _ _
Guy walks into the dentist's office 1030 at night, he says, _
I think I'm a moth. _ _ _ _
Dentist says, you think you're a moth?
He says, yeah, I think I'm a moth. _
He says, well, if you think you're a moth, you don't need a dentist,
you need a psychiatrist. _
He said, I know.
He says, what'd you come in here for?
He says, I'm a moth.
_ _ Your light was on. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Booing the [Abm] moth joke?
Are they booing the moth joke?
[Ab] You fucking L.A..ers! You [N] fucking L.A..ers! I have been on the road 260 days already this year, nobody has booed the fucking moth joke! _ _ You cynical bastards! _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ People have stood up and, _ yes, yes, I can finally die! _ _ _ _ _ _ They've given me their passcode to their bank account, thank you for the moth joke! These fuckers are down here going, yeah, [G] yeah, yeah. _ _ _ That's what killed the rock and roll revolution right there. _ _ Think anybody booed Joe Cocker? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Rock and roll party was the only party in the last hundred years to have a real revolution in North America. _ _ _ _ _ And it was a fucking good one too, [Bbm] and they circumvented it, but with the monkeys. _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ We were having a revolution, we were growing our hair, we were like, almost cut my hair, we were like, yes, we're in! And then the monkeys came. _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Michael Jackson, little fucking weeners. _ _ They _ _ _ _ wrecked it, didn't they? _ _ _ I was in seventh grade, I had a monkey's ring bigger than my hand, because the government had hired the monkeys to circumvent the rock and roll revolution. Look, there's kids in the friggin' universities that are fighting, there's things you get, a little boy band out there, and that's been ever since we've had it in sync, _ _ because we _ _ _ _ _ were so close to winning, weren't we? We were so close. With _ _ _ the love souls. _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [N] _
